La lista esta encabezada por el golfista Tiger Woods, seguido del jugador de la NBA LeBron James y cierra el podio otro golfista, Phil Mickelson.
El primer español el Rafael Nadal en el puesto numero 11.
Hay que bajar hasta el numero 82 para encontrar al primero luchador de MMA, el ruso Fedor Emelianenko. Un poco mas atras, encontramos a Brock Lesnar en el puesto numero 96.
